NC I have one of those .243s just like the one described. It is one fun gun to shoot. It did a good job on 2 bucks last year with 100 grain bullets. We have been trying to call some yotes, but have not had one come in yet. My buddy killed a doe Friday and went back to get her after dark. The Coyotes had already claimed most of her in a little over an hour.
Where's the earth shattering kaboom ?

Bill, My brother in law has a 220 swift. It will reach an touch em and has hardly no kick.

My 22-250 is a savage with accu-trigger it was one of the first 25 left hand guns with accu trigger . I ordered it though a local dealer after the 2 weeks it was suposed to take to ship I called savage twice a week for a month they finally called me said they were shipping 25 guns and they would make sure mine got to me had it 2 days later I use 60 grain seirra hp at 3500 fps imr 3031 powder I fire 5 shot once that the group was .31 outside to outside not center to center I've taken coyotes out to 340-350 yards so far

i shoot a .270 win. and am very happy with it and have killed everything from groundhogs to moose with it. I reason i love it is that it is so versitile I use a 100 grain bullet for yotes and ground hogs, 130 grain bullets for deer and 150 nosler partions for moose.A .270 is extremely accurate round as well. If u need a rimfire choice i would go with a hmr17 it will make a mess of a yotr 100 yards or less.

You know dogs and guns.

I also have a Sako in 6mm Remington (basically a .243 Winchester).
If you get the chance to try a .260 remington (6.5mm) give it a "shot."
